- Ask for reviews
You can’t miss asking for reviews from your happy patients. Whenever a patient interacts with you at your practice or via email/call, let them know how valuable their opinion is for your practice. If a patient appreciates your service, ask them to express it online. Explain to them how valuable will be their words for you and your practice.
Thank your patients every time they post a review for your practice. This will motivate your patients to refer you to their friends and family, thereby increasing your patient base.
